This thread reminds me of a
This thread reminds me of a video I saw not too long ago. Maybe some of you have seen it.
To me, it's an amazing perspective about World War II casualties, but around the 13 minute mark (or so), WWII numbers are compared to what has happened in the World since then.
Perhaps Obama has a point.
What do you think?

More Americans were killed
More Americans were killed when George Bush was POTUS than when Obam was POTUS.
Obama > Bush (then again, a decomposing dead rat testicle was better for the Earth than George Bush)

Michelle Obama just declared that all hope is gone. When her and barack leave there will be no more hope in the US..
The left wingers at Black Lives says we need to be afraid of the police..they are hunting and killing innocent black men. (totally bogus claim)
Joe Biden told a group of African Americans that they need to be afraid of the Republicans..for they want to put the blacks "back in chains"
The dems say that the elderly must be scared because Paul Ryan wants to push grandma off a cliff..
and on..and on..

Pointing out a track record
Pointing out a track record of harmful actions is not fear mongering.
I. E., Roberts/Scalia court guts voting rights act, 600 polling places closed in black precincts.
Cops kill unarmed black suspects, acquitted over and over.
Maybe Joe is right on that one?

Hands up don't shoot never happened..
Cops killed nearly twice as many whites as blacks in 2015
More whites and Hispanics die from police homicides than blacks.
Black and Hispanic police officers are more likely to fire a gun at blacks than white officers.
Blacks are more likely to kill cops than be killed by cops.
poor lefties

Whites - 64% of US pop.
Blacks - 12%
So blacks are actually being killed by police 2.5 times as often as whites.

Black people in the United
Black people in the United States are more likely to be victims of violent confrontations with police officers than whites because they commit more violent crimes than whites per capita.
Despite making up just 13% of the population, blacks commit around half of homicides in the United States. DOJ statistics show that between 1980 and 2008, blacks committed 52% of homicides, compared to 45% of homicides committed by whites.
Despite being outnumbered by whites five to one, blacks commit eight times more crimes against whites than vice-versa, according to FBI statistics from 2007. A black male is 40 times as likely to assault a white person as the reverse. These figures also show that interracial rape is almost exclusively black on white.
Despite the fact that black people commit an equal or greater number of violent crimes than whites, whites are almost TWICE as likely to be killed by police officers.
